The often overlooked Prepare panel of Serato DJ should be considered as a tool for every DJ. While it won’t drastically change your current workflow it can add an additional level of organisation to your sets, helping you remember things you usually wouldn’t. I’ll share few uses for it that I’ve found handy in and out of the club.

Preferences found in Serato DJ’s Setup menu are often an overlooked option when it comes to MIDI mapping. Check out our favourite 5 MIDI-mappable setup options you can map straight to your controller, removing the need to enter the SETUP screen.

Thanks to everyone that made it out to Serato’s Masterclass tour of the UK and Ireland. Workshops were held in key stores and music schools over London, Newbury, Bristol, Dublin and Birmingham with every stop either being full or over booked!

The release of Soudswitch 1.2 provides huge additions to the existing functionality of integrating a lighting setup with Serato DJ. New features, options and general performance improvements are all included in this update.
